Largely overlooked during the very height of the muscle car wars, the 68 Dodge Dart GTS was definitely not a car you wanted to overlook at the stoplight drags, no matter what you were driving. Smaller and lighter than some of their famous big brothers, they could nevertheless run with some pretty serious hardware. Even when equipped with the standard 340 cubic-inch 4-barrel V8 as this '68 GTS is, they were legitimate 14-second cars. Hell, when they were new, they were strong competitors in the Super Stock classes and some of those cars are still setting records today. The GTS was the bad boy of the Dart family. It offered a standard 340 with the optional 383 and both were available with a revised Hurst 4-speed manual.

The GTS also featured Rallye suspension, heavier shocks, dual chrome exhaust tips, and E70x14 tires as standard equipment. And just in case nobody noticed the rumbling engine note, there were bright red GTS badges on the hood, trunk and fenders. All 1968 Darts got the cool round parking lights in the front grille and round marker lights on the sides. Out back, the taillights are a 1968-only 3-element design.

The stainless trim, from the sill moldings to the reveal moldings, is all in excellent, highly polished condition. Both bumpers have been re-chromed, working with a new set of door handles, new badges and a new outside rear view mirror to add flash. The yellow paint shows beautifully and the wrinkle-free vinyl top looks like it could have been installed last week. Inside, the bare-bones Dart interior is beautifully dressed in black, with a little jewelry like the center console with a rare factory tach mounted ahead of the shifter for the TorqueFlite transmission.
